Anthony Edwards Over 11.5 Total Assists and Rebounds (-140)
Anthony Edwards has taken on an expanded all-around role in the postseason. After averaging 5.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game in the regular season, he’s up to 7.8 RPG and 5.8 APG in the playoffs. That’s a combined 13.6 assists + rebounds per game, well above the 11.5 prop total. Even against the Lakers, where he averaged a lower 6.3 RPG and 3.0 APG during the regular season, Edwards’ elevated playoff usage makes this over a popular and data-backed pick.

Rudy Gobert Under 7.5 Points (-145)
Rudy Gobert has been nearly invisible on offense this series, averaging just 3.5 points per game—less than a third of his 12.0 PPG regular season average. Even in three regular-season meetings with the Lakers, he posted 14.0 PPG, but he’s clearly taken on a more defense-only role in this matchup. Given his postseason struggles and limited offensive involvement, the under has been a heavy lean at the books.

LeBron James Under 16.5 Total Assists and Rebounds (-110)
LeBron James has been rebounding at a high level in the playoffs with 9.5 RPG, but his assist numbers have dipped to 5.5 APG, totaling 15.0 assists + rebounds per game. That’s just under the 16.5 mark, significantly lower than his 8.2 APG from the regular season. Even in three regular season games vs. Minnesota, LeBron averaged 10.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists—totaling 14.7, another number below the line. With reduced playmaking and a grind-it-out pace, this under is gaining steam.
Anthony Edwards First Field Goal Scorer (+575)
Edwards has come out firing in this series, and his 29.8 PPG in the playoffs supports his role as the Timberwolves’ offensive spark plug. He averaged 27.5 PPG in the regular season, and even against the Lakers, where he averaged just 19.0 PPG during the season, his first-shot involvement remains high. With this momentum, he’s an appealing longshot at +575 to strike first.
Luka Doncic First Field Goal Scorer (+500)
Though not in the same matchup, Luka Doncic has consistently taken early possessions in Dallas games and is averaging 30.8 PPG in the playoffs, up from 28.2 PPG in the regular season. Even in three regular-season games vs Minnesota, he averaged just 19.7 PPG, but his high usage early in games remains. At +500, this is a calculated value play for the first scorer.
